Unexpected faces in the window of Sparks Gallery in the Gaslamp Quarter. This colorful work of art commands the attention of anyone passing down the sidewalk.
The Gaslamp Quarter is usually bustling with humanity, as people shop, dine and take a stroll through the historic heart of downtown San Diego. But occasionally unexpected faces appear!

A funny face spotted while strolling down a sidewalk, camera in hand.This unexpected face has no skin. The Chrome Domes seem mostly bones.A mischievous face painted next to a deserted patio. Dick’s Last Resort in the Gaslamp has closed after many years.The Grinch is smiling and behaving unexpectedly unGrinchlike in this fun artwork inside the front window of The Chuck Jones Gallery.Very cool! It’s Steve McQueen sporting some shades. An image above the windows of Eyes On Fifth.A large face painted on the brick wall inside a Gaslamp Quarter restaurant is an unexpected, arresting sight.

Such a fun post! All those different faces you found, Richard. The mannequin made me look twice, too – haha! Lots of cool variety in those faces; I particularly like the face painted on the brick wall (the last one). Lovely. 🙂
